A bit late due to stuff.

Finally Kurafuta time! It’s been a long time I played a twins-themed game. Clover Day’s long. …and it was my first game. I’m not sure how far I’m at the moment due to how the “story” goes.

Ended up buying some more unnecessary stuff :D

Accidentally bought another tapestry. Striped “swimsuit” + knee-socks + evening gloves is a dangerous combination ( ‘_’)b

That and a few other on my radar which will dry up my balance real quick. Holding back until next month and hopefully they will still be available.

One last route for World Election! Generally okay-ish overall? Sofia was quite awesome on all routes though. I’m aiming to finish the whole thing before Wednesday.

Thanks to new stuff I bought this week, Kurafuta jumped up the backlog queue. It’s up next now.

Or nonexistence of it. I mean, Suruga-Ya sold Ren hug pillow cover earlier this week and I bought it almost instantly. And thrown Kissmaou in as well while at it. Whoops. There goes my plan getting this one. Unless I managed to save more than I predicted for this month. Or if iPhone SE isn’t actually a thing (or at least cheaper than I expected).

Distracted quite a bit this week so I haven’t progressed much. I did finish Misaki’s route from Nostalgia and to save effort of switching context, I continued playing through Shouko’s route which is the last one. Afterwards I’ll finish up Quintuple Splash and then continues to Sakura no Uta. Maybe. Either that or World Election.

Now I look at the release schedule of the hug pillow again I guess I can go World Election first before starting with Sakura no Uta. The cover is set for April release so the timing is quite perfect. That is if I even manage to finish it before the cover arrives.

Me and my “brilliant” ideas. Usually end up swallowed deep in a quagmire. Heh.

It’s something about my eroge playing order (also known as forever backlog clearance). The one I’ve been having was simple: play the latest release after finishing whatever currently played. It worked good enough until I noticed that due to my preference most of the ones I’ve been playing are charage (character-focused game).

Then I modified it a bit few weeks ago to allow interleaving with whichever game I want to play. It worked kind of well though switching between games isn’t the easiest thing to do due to writing style changes (and my lack of Japanese knowledge). For same reason my pace feels like slowed down a bit as well.

About a week later I noticed I have another problem: my playing speed can’t catch up with slightly unrelated own rule of hug pillow cover. It’s basically switch bi-weekly with the ones I’ve played game of (or at least completed the character’s route) or just originals. Also avoid having from same illustrator in succession to prevent getting bored because of (sometimes) sameface thingy. At current point I’ll run out of unused covers and must either break my rule by using the unplayed ones or looping it already. Now I write it, I think I’ve had similar problem at the end of last year and was kind of helped by influx of new covers.

The new idea is simple: just play the ones I have cover of :D The order is probably the same as before – descending from the latest. At my current list it means I’ll be playing either Ama no Sora Retrospect or Sakura no Uta. There’s also Primal x Hearts 2 but I kind of need to first play the first one so it’ll be done last. Currently considering Sakura no Uta but I’m not sure yet. Also will probably still be interleaved with another game. Still not sure on that part yet – I could interleave with from hug pillow cover list or the latest or maybe even whatever I want. Though I figured I should just clear up the cover list as first priority.

As I’m still partway on another games, the plan shall be executed after I finished those. Just finished Sahori’s route of Quintuple Splash this Saturday and currently going through Nostalgia’s Misaki route. At current rate I think I should be able to finish them in two weeks at the latest.

February is ending soon! Which means budget reset! I managed to save a bit over the minimum amount I set. Though if I combine with previous month it means I only reached half the target… for both months (I not only failed last month but actually went negative). Next month isn’t helping either with release of the new 4″ iPhone which I’ll probably get since I prefer small phones and hopefully better choices for phone case.

No banner again.

As mentioned last week, still going with Natsu no Iro no Nostalgia. About to finish my first route (Ayane) but then I realized that rotation for my hug pillow cover is almost over unless I count in the ones from unplayed games. I have one more from original list (Chikotam’s C83) and another Chikotam which is Nanoka from Haruno (coming end of this month). There’s also Inori from Alia’s Carnival! but I’m thinking of holding back that one until the double package with her route is released. At least I won’t be able to put on any from mid of March until around end of April because of additional people lodging in my room in that period. Well, I can’t play much either so it pretty much balances out.

Assuming I can clear out both Natsu no Iro no Nostalgia and Quintuple Splash before end of this month, I’ll have about two months period to clear something which I have pillow cover of. For starter, Omokage Rail Back from February release will have a pillow cover of Juuri. That complies with my “play from most recent” guidelines as well so it’ll probably be my main option. But on the other hand, if I play Koikano and Kurafuta instead, I’ll then have four covers immediately since I have two each from both series. Or six if I throw in Sakura no Uta as well since I have two covers from it. We’ll see in few weeks ┐(･_･)┌

(I’ll probably be slow as usual and failing everything)

Still on rotation topic (hey that’s this digest’s title after all), my rotation for tapestries is down to 93 tapestries. It’s been on pause for two weeks mostly thanks to Yomeyaba. I think I’m done with it for now and will resume the rotation. Will probably be done around June. While interesting, I really should keep the number down. I currently have 319 (including pre-ordered stuff) which is a bit.. too many. Suruga-Ya is too cheap so I’m thinking of YJA directly instead. I have a feeling I’ve been saying that so many times. I need to first figure out which ones to sell though ;_;

(that’s part of the reason I keep track of my rotation)

Time sure flies…

Still going with Quintuple Splash. Barely passed the common routes and currently at Sae’s route. End of February will be a bit of hell. And I won’t be able to play much in March and April due to various reasons.

Oh and I ended up piling up even more games to my backlog (ノﾟ ヮﾟ)ノ︵ ┻━┻

Accidentally used more money than I should be for this month (as usual). Should start selling more stuff sometime later… And receive pitiful amount of money. Well, sunk cost etc. I think I’m done for this month. Next month isn’t looking bright either and upcoming Residence Tax isn’t helping either though if I guessed correctly it won’t happen this year but instead will be inflicted with double the amount next year instead because I moved to this area after January 1st. That’s my guess anyway.

Managed to finish Christmas Trickstar. It was pretty short. There are two route which the main character does pretty much opposite thing. One of which I hate. Not too bad for a doujin game.

Going upward my backlog, continuing to Quintuple Splash. This month’s eroge day is coming next week as well but I’m not sure whether to pause this and play Loverec Fandisc first or finish this one first. Haven’t gotten far enough to tell if it’s going to be usual Parasol or another Haruno. I’m guessing the former. Still kind of sad Chikotam didn’t draw for this game :(

Talking about eroge, I think I’ll be picking up Lose’s next game – Maitetsu – after all. Hurr durr herp derp. <insert expletives here about how good I am at managing my lust>. There aren’t many information this week. Or there are a few but I don’t really care about most of them. Go here for better listing ha ha ha. :effort:

For some reason I’ve gotten even more backlogs :D OH WELL.

Still playing through Delivara… Should be done by this week.

When it’s done I’ll probably play Christmas Trick Star instead of Kimisora to go back to the “latest released, unplayed” pattern instead of picking random ones. Saves thinking out what to play next. The current Delivara was mainly because I ran out of hug pillow cover to rotate. As I now have few originals and from completed games, going back to usual pattern should be fine. Maybe.

Back to the… Tamasato?

Still going through with Koikake. Finished Sena and Ayane’s route. Currently at Rinka. Should be done within this week and then continue to, I don’t know, probably Sakura no Uta. But it seems to be pretty long and I’m running out of hug pillow cover which game I played. So it’s either that or another game of which I have pillow cover.

Ended up spending most of my random crap budget this first week of the month. Doesn’t help I ended up needing to upgrade my graphics card from Radeon 5450 to something less crap. Still crap though.

I also pre-ordered all February stuff and getting second copy of Yomeyaba. Later this month I’ll also pre-order minori’s Tsuminohi and Date a Live Movie BD. Welp.

Maitetsu. Trains and lolis. What can go wrong?

…I forgot to publish this last night.

I managed to finish Chrono Clock this Friday. It’s overall pretty good though probably can use more Kuro hscenes.

That said, I noticed I’ve been playing too much eroge with fantasy elements lately. From Alia’s Carnival and its fandisc, Mousou Complete!, and then Chrono Clock. The only short pause was playing Imouto no Seiiki which took few days.

So I decided to take another break by playing Koi-Kakeru Shin-Ai Kanojo. So far seems to be a fairly simple business.

Still on Koikake, I didn’t plan for any additional bonus besides the one that comes with the game itself. I’m doing a light watch on YJA though – for any chance of cheaper bonuses. So far I got none :D I ended up getting everything as originally (not) planned. Costed slightly more than I expected.

Glace’s Amatoro, on other hand, still trying to get Medio CD bonus. The outlook seems to be pretty expensive at 3000 JPY range. Getchu CD is on the way.

As mentioned from previous post, I’ll probably drop Ensemble’s Koikata after all considering all my backlogs and illustrator. Hulotte’s Yomeyaba is still on course and barring any sudden insanity, I’ll just get my currently preordered one (Trader) and Getchu and maybe official store if it’s interesting enough. It’s Hulotte so I’m expecting at least two more double suede tapestries in following quarters.

For December, I’m getting Parasol’s Quintuple Splash from official store as originally planned and perhaps the drama CDs. No plan for Sorakoi besides Trader.

Still waiting on more details on Omokage Rail Back bonuses though at this point I suspect I’ll just go ahead with Goodwill and YJA the rest of stuff. Or maybe not. It’ll be one devastating month if I try getting everything. I’m aiming Nekoto and Moeri for Mamiya-kun related bonuses – I’m counting four stores and for some reason are all tapestries.

World Election. Or in katakana, Wa-rudo erekushon.

Finished three routes of Chrono Clock (Makoto, Michiru, and Misaki) including the hscenes. Failing at concentrating this week and wasted by spending too much time on rearranging and cleaning room.

Plan for November is at least Hulotte’s Yomeyaba. I’m still not sure if I should go ahead with Koikata but considering what I have this month (three), my backlogs (craploads), and my current spending rate, I probably have to skip it. Doesn’t help that the illustrator, Kimishima Ao, is also doing Koikake, making it kind of redundant and she/he isn’t even on my watch list.

December release is also looking pretty confusing with at least Chelsea Soft’s Sorakoi and Parasol’s Quintuple Splash. Originally also planned for Onii-chan Teacher but considering I don’t even really half of the character and considering my backlog (as usual), I’ll probably ended up skipping it. But then there’s Ammolite’s new game, Onii-chan, oshiete… which looks kind of interesting. At least that one is single route and costs like 3000 jpy. So I may do end up getting it. There’s also Clearrave Nyan Nyan’s JK Trouble and Mains which is drawn by K-Ko (the same one doing Onii-chan Teacher) and animated and stuff. I don’t know :D

January looks pretty safe so far with just Giga/kinokonomi release. May or may not getting it. Currently at 70% no mainly because of February releases and just plain saving.

February! Whirlpool’s World Election and Haikuo’s Omokage Rail Back are on 99% though I’m still considering if I’ll get the whole thing™ (read: all relevant store bonuses). It doesn’t help I’m getting the expensive version of Omokage Rail Back with hug pillow cover and stuff. And talking about February, I still haven’t started on this year’s February :(

Sakura no uta – She’s probably the only character I like design-wise.

Ended up getting three new games this month instead of one. Also I think I’ll end up playing the Himawari one as well one day™.

Finished Alia’s Carnival! Flowering Sky. The extra routes are unexpectedly long. Pretty good though and gives some additional answers to Asuha’s extra route. Quite over the top though and I think some of the details went through my head. The other extra route has h-cg of Inori and sadly gave false hope :( Waiting for the appends they’ll be releasing later.

Started Chrono Clock and it’s pretty good so far. Finished Makoto’s route. Felt a bit short. Not checked the h-scenes yet though. Currently at Michiru’s.

Still hoping to finish this before Friday (90% chance of not happening).

Links and photos after the break as usual.

Update: added link to Inugami Kira’s new tapestry.

Originally planned to go to Sunshine Creation but due to Suruga-Ya thinks it’s funny restocking one of tapestry I’ve been looking for with sufficiently high price, I canceled the plan. And played eroge instead (nothing new).

Still going with Flowering Sky, finished Asuha and Shiina. Now going through Karin (halfway-ish, I guess?). And then Tsukuyomi and Shiho. And then check out the rest of additional stories. Hopefully will be done before end of next week and then followed by Chrono Clock.

On unrelated note, I’ve published list of my stuff (currently tapestries, hug pillow covers, and eroges). Check them here. I’m still completing up the data though.

Not much news this week. Links and photos after the break as usual.

I forgot to mention in last post but it was Silver Week this week with holidays from Monday to Wednesday, allowing me to immerse myself in eroge. And finished Mousou Complete! Woo \o/

With this, I’m only two games away from February releases.

Onward to Flowering Sky. …finished Yumi’s route already. Now going through Asuha’s route. At this rate I might really be able to start February games in October? We’ll see.
